Introduction

Welcome to the weekly report of iNaturalist and eBird records. These are all observations submitted from 06 February 2023 to 12 February 2023 for the species that Acadia National Park managers have identified as being of particular interest.

These data for this report comes from open source citizen science projects: iNaturalist and eBird. The records here are both casual and research grade observations, so erroneous identifications are possible.
